Should I ditch my MK3 Supra for an S13?
This car is comfy, goes fast in a straight line and it looks nice but it's not the best drivers car, the steering lacks feel and it feels like the gearchange is from a tractor while the 7M is lazy. An excellent grand tourer.
Should I sell this car for £4000 and get something else? Give me recommendations.

If you want a floppy s chassis with a shitty truck engine you'd want to swap out immediately sure.

I'm not in america so I don't get truck engine, all the cars in this country are SR20 or CA18.
I can get pretty much any japanese sports car I want here.

I've owned an s15 and a mk4 supra, which obviously aren't the same car as a mk3 and s13 but should give you a general idea of the differences. The supra feels a lot more solid than the s15 did, it definitely is the better car in most aspects. They were double the price of an s chassis brand new so this is understandable. Where the supra falls down for me is that you can definitely feel the weight of it. This is where the s chassis is better. It feels light and it has much nicer steering feel. I wouldn't say it was faster, just more enjoyable as the supra makes me feel like im driving a boat. Long story short supras are excellent grand tourers as you said and the s chassis has nicer driving feel in the bends but less refined. As for recommendations, it all depends on what type of driving you like.

Yeah I get that the Supra is much more practical as a day to day and if I could I would keep it and also buy a lightweight rear drive sports car, but I don't have the space for that. I've been looking and light RWD cars like E30s, S13s, RX7s and the like mainly.
I don't know if you've driven a MK3 manual, the throw on the shift is so long from 1st to 2nd that no matter how fast I try and shift the revs drop below where they should. I want the better driving dynamics but I don't know if the trade off for comfort and usability is worth it.
Which car did you enjoy owning more?

If you want something lightweight and more fun in the corners I say sell the supra and get something else. I ended up selling mine for the same reason you want to sell yours.If you wont be using it as a daily, get an rx7. Otherwise s13, I dont know much about bmws so I cant weigh in on the e30 unfortunately.
I haven't driven a mk3 but if the throw really is that bad you might have to rev match your up shifts. The difference in comfort wont be too great, I barely noticed when I went from s15 to supra.
I enjoyed the s15 more.

Well, to be honest the m is from Toyota's high level GT car. But it sorta feels like it.
